Employee Handbooks

Your employee handbook serves as a resource guide and a summary of the various policies, benefits and services available and applicable to employees of JHHSC/JHH. It also summarizes your rights and responsibilities and the general conditions of employment.

Please read this handbook and use it as a reference guide. If you need further information, contact your supervisor or the Human Resources Department. 

Choose the handbook that reflects your employment status: 

• Employee handbook for represented (union) employees
• Employee handbook for non-represented (non-union) employees
